The Global Intelligence Files

On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Hi Ben,

Your request through ShareASale has been approved. I apologize for the
delay. Your particular request simply slipped through the cracks. I
appreciate you contacting us.

Indeed, many of the users who come to our site through yours will join the
free email series - and from there, they can purchase memberships. Those
"back end leads" do in fact count toward your commission.

Please feel free to contact me with any further questions or concerns as
you move forward with this.
Best,
Megan

The URL for my main site with shareasale.com is
http://schoollunchchoice.com, however, this wouldn't be the site from
where I promote stratfor.

I would plan on promoting stratfor from my site:
http://independentbloghorn.com, which is a political/opinion editorial
site.

Here are some posts where I have already promoted Stratfor:
http://independentbloghorn.com/2009/10/reset-button/
http://independentbloghorn.com/2009/07/china-red-star-falling/
http://independentbloghorn.com/2009/04/obama-and-turkey-a-little-taste-of-stratfor/
http://independentbloghorn.com/2009/04/a-tale-of-two-friedmans/

This site gets between 500-1000 unique visits per month, and I have a
decent list of subscribers. I am pretty well networked with a decent list
of other political bloggers that are all interested in the type of
analysis offered by Stratfor. I imagine I can get most of them to opt in
to your free email series, and you can manage the rest from your backend
(however, I am not sure if this is the best strategy for the affiliate
program, since I don't know if backend sales from affiliate leads will
turn to commissions). I also think I can get most of them to become
affiliates for Stratfor, and I would be happy to publish some
instructional materials to help them promote Stratfor from their sites.

I signed up for your affiliate program a while ago, but I guess I was
never approved to get started. I was wondering if there is any way to
speed up that process. I have a political site that gets a decent
amount of traffic with regular readers. I have promoted Stratfor
several times already. I would love to be an affiliate and recruit new
affiliates for you.
